Evaluating our carbon footprint
In 2022/2023, we carried out a carbon assessment based on 2021/2022 data for Paragon ID France, covering the PID and PISAS sites, as well as Paragon ID UK, including the Hull and Thames sites. The aim was to draw up a full inventory of our greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). We commissioned the services of Greenly in both countries to assist us in this process, which aims to obtain a comprehensive overview
OUR EMISSIONS
of our greenhouse gas emissions, with particular attention paid to the sites indicated above.
This data is essential to identify all potential areas that we can step up efforts to further reduce our impact on climate change.
Data extraction using the “GHG Protocol” allowed us to organise the study of our emissions into three categories, themselves broken down into sub-divisions of emissions.
Supplies
SCOPE 3 – “UPSTREAM” ACTIVITIES
8. Upstream energy
14. Upstream leased assets
9. Purchase of products and services 10. Amortisations
12. Upstream transportation of goods
13. Professional travel
16. Visitor and client transportation 22. Commuting to and from work
SCOPE 1
1. Fixed fuel sources 2. Mobile fuel sources
3. Non-energy processes 4. Fugitive emissions
5. Biomass (land and forest)
SCOPE 2
6. Electricity use
7. Steam, heating, cooling consumption
SCOPE 3 – “DOWNSTREAM” ACTIVITIES
17. Downstream transportation of goods
11. Waste
19. End of lifetime of sold products
18. Use of sold products 20. Downstream franchise 21. Downstream leasing

Paragon ID France and Paragon ID UK have been awarded Greenly Bronze Medals for their corporate climate strategies.
SUMMARY OF EMISSIONS PER SCOPE FOR PID AND PISAS
SUMMARY OF EMISSIONS BY SCOPE FOR PID UK
22.17 kt CO2e
27 kt CO2e
SCOPE 1 + SCOPE 2 0.5762 kt CO2e
SCOPE 3
21.59 kt CO2e
SCOPE 1 + SCOPE 2 1.1 kt CO2e
SCOPE 3
26 kt CO2e
Given the weight of Scope 3, in 2024 we will be undertaking an analysis of the elements that form this Scope to help us draw up an action plan to reduce these emissions.
